Done with being sarcastic (sorry guys), I just use this to vent and to repost things that I agree with. I think it is important to have clarity about things.

ABOLISH ICE

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 13d

“Show us your warrant!”

“Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

ICE is openly terrorizing my neighborhood today, including an elementary school, and these asshats need to be held accountable to the fullest possible extent on the other side of all this.

Everyone unsubscribe from the NYT now!!

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 23h

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

This is what money is being spent on instead of affordable housing, public education, basic infrastructure, affordable childcare.

They can afford it, they just prefer to waste the money.

We must rebuild the global food system around NEED & not shareholder profit.

We must radically change what we eat & how we produce it.

We need BOLD LEADERSHIP on this, or we watch our world crumble as more & more people go hungry, & then we go hungry, & then billions of us die.

Donald Trump suspended an 18 billiom dollar infrastructure project for NYC to try to make it look like democratic socialism doesn't work.

Donald Trump is boycotting Zohran Mamdani. How despicable he is.
